This is real treat for art lovers, particularly those with an interest in art nouveau, but anyone who likes to look at nice pictures will have a grand day here. The museum is all about life and work of Alfons Mucha, the famous Czech painter who was the defining artist of the art nouveau movement in France, and who spent his last years in Prague decorating various buildings and landmarks in his unique style. Open daily from 10am to 6pm, the museum holds over 100 exhibits which include everything from decorative panels to pages from his sketchbook.

I was hoping to enjoy his work, but I left thinking it was pretty kitsch and overrated. Have to be honest!

I really dig the art nouveau thing, so this was a great find. Best get there, buddy, when you're in Prague.

this was sensational. I've always been a fan of Alfons Mucha (i have a Mucha tattoo across the whole of my back!) so it was a real treat to see a museum dedicated to him. He was a rare genius

While the museum was amazing, the gift shop is to be skipped. The cashier mislead my husband to believe that what he was buying the 200 czk item he asked for, and then charged him for a similar item that was 1350 czk. When he met me outside of the shop and told me he thought the total was high, we realized the mistake we went right back in to correct it. The evil cashier would not exchange the item, mumbling some crap in Czech as to why, so we were stuck with an expensive item we did not want. As a whole we have encountered a lot of crooks in Prague ripping off tourists, but this was the most outrageous. My advice is when buying expensive items always use a credit card so that the charges can be disputed and also expect all sales to be final.

Just reply to lady from US.
You have to control what do you want and what do you pay before payment, no just pay, go out and go back to complain.
It wasn't the similar item, firstly was handkerchief about 250 CZK, but you took shawl with handkerchief like set about 1350 CZK.
You can see the different in size on first view. So sorry...
